  I am having difficulty having my content display like what the Blask Theme preview shows. What CSS do I need to use? Please break it down as much as you can. I have zero coding ability.
  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. Here is some basic information about that theme: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/blask/

  I’m going to assume you want to utilize the Portfolio feature. Here is some information about doing so: https://en.support.wordpress.com/portfolios/

  I hope this helps!

  @memkoh
  The site linked to above and to you username is not wearing the Blask theme.

  If you have the required upgrade for css editing you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.

  If you have not purchased that upgrade the detailed theme deception page and set up instructions for Blask on a wordpress.COM hosted blog are found here https://wordpress.com/themes/blask and the live demo site is here https://blaskdemo.wordpress.com/

  For ant further theme help, provided it’s a wordpress.COM you are asking about you can post to the Themes Forum https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/themes#postform

  Hi @memkoh, I see you have two sites here at WordPress.com, and neither is using Blask. Take a look at the links @mgalbritton gave which has some setup information on it. To accomplish the layout on the demo site, you do not need any custom CSS. Everything to create the look of the demo site is built right into Blask.

  Hello and thank you everyone.

  My website had Blask at the time I posted this question, but I quickly changed it to a theme I felt comfortable with since I had a time-sensitive post to create on my blog and I didn’t want my viewers to meet an infinite scroll (how my homepage was with Blask).

  I guess the right question to you all is how to maneuver Portfolio themes without having to create a Portfolio page, since I already have regular posts on my blog that I’d like to show up on the front page as they become available.
  Thank you again.

  You can create your own page and then add the Portfolio Shortcode to that page. The styling of the shortcode page isn’t quite as slick as using the actual portfolio page since it has to be more universal. Do you think that will work for you?

  Yes! So helpful. Thank you @thesacredpath. I’ll bookmark this for when I’m updating my theme again.
